Lampshade Update

About two weeks ago I headed over to Kohls to use a $10 gift card they sent for my birthday. I found this lamp on clearance and thought it would work great in my living room. I ended up paying $13 for the lamp, which I thought was a great deal. I thought that the shade was a little plain though.

I am still trying to learn how to use the silhouette machine, and I thought I would try and cut out something for the lampshade. The design I chose goes nicely with the pattern on my rug. I simply used the vinyl adhesive and attached it to the shade in a matter of minutes.

We made some progress in the kitchen this weekend. We still have a ways to go but at least we have agreed on a back splash idea. Thanks to Jana from Little Web Writing Hood for doing some updates to our blog over the weekend. Hope you have a great week.

a $10 lamp?! I've had my silhouette machine for almost 2 years now and still don't fully understand how to use it! It did sit in the box for a realllly long time because I didn't have the space for it. Hopefully I can do something fun soon!
